Vilnohirsk (Ukrainian: Вільногірськ, IPA: [wilʲnoˈɦirʲsʲk] ) is a city in Kamianske Raion, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Vilnohirsk urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] In 2024, 19,017 people were officially registered in Vilnohirsk.[2]
Vilnohirsk is (with Irshansk) the centre of the Ukrainian titanium ore industry.[3]
